    Thanks Jo C.

    I just found this post and downloaded the two articles.  I bet there still is yet to be much research done with dementia and screaming/yelling.  They were from 2004 and even then, the author said not much had been down.  I've been unable to find very much at all online, so at least these articles were helpful to make sure my ducks are in a row on the issues.  My ducks are in a row but quacking loudly, LOL
